The ENCE team won YGames Pro Series Season 5, defeating M1 in the final match with a score of 3:1. For this triumph, the team received a prize pool of $12,568, which was a significant financial success. This victory was an important achievement for ENCE , especially in light of the recent scandal involving allegations of unfair play against M1, which ENCE casually mentioned before the match.

The Road to Victory
ENCE demonstrated consistent play throughout the tournament, confidently reaching the grand final. In the quarterfinals, the team defeated SASHI 2-0, and in the semifinals, they defeated Iberian Soul 2-0. In the final against M1, ENCE showed a high level of coordination and individual skill, especially on maps where M1 is traditionally strong. The team managed to adapt to their opponent's tactics and win key rounds, which was a decisive factor in their victory.

The Scandal That Preceded the Triumph
Before the match, ENCE casually mentioned its concerns about the integrity of M1's play, citing observed behaviors and actions throughout the season. These concerns were reinforced by information from other tournament organizers who hosted M1.

ENCE raised these issues with the organizers of YGames, and in response, YGames promised to display camera footage of each player on the stream, use Akros anticheat software, and require mandatory POV demo recordings. Despite these concerns, ENCE managed to focus on the game and secure the victory, proving their professionalism and ability to perform under pressure.

Prize Pool and Distribution
ENCE , as the winner, received $12,568, which was the largest prize pool of the tournament. M1, as the runner-up, received $6,472. Third place went to Sparta , which defeated Iberian Soul in the match for 3rd place with a score of 2:0, receiving $2,697. Other teams, such as Sinners , Sashi, Sangal, and CYBERSHOKE, also received prizes depending on their position in the tournament table.

This victory could be a turning point for ENCE . At the same time, M1, which took second place, also showed its potential, and their performance may influence their future plans for team development.
